Boundary Integral Method for 3D Simulation of Foam Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Boundary Integral Method (BIM) for simulation of foam formation and dynamics in viscous flows is presented. The main features of the numerical method are: Nonsingular contour integration of the singular single layer potential; Higher order approximation of the interface positions and the distance between the interfaces; Dynamic mesh regularization. Presented are also results of foam-drop formation and its dynamic behavior in a viscous flow. They demonstrate the ability of the presented numerical method for simulation of polydisperse foam dynamics as well as dynamics of drops at very close distance.

Numerical method for 3D simulation of foam dynamics in the presence of surfactant
3D numerical method is presented for simulation of foam formation and dynamics in viscous flows in the presence of insoluble surfactant and under the influence of van der Waals forces. The mathematical model is based on the Stokes equations in the fluid phases, coupled with velocity and stress boundary conditions at the interfaces. A nonuniform surfactant concentration on the interfaces, govern...
متن کاملA General Boundary-Integral Formulation for Zoned Three-Dimensional Media
A new boundary-integral formulation is proposed to analyze the heat transfer in zoned three-dimensional geometries. The proposed formulation couples the boundary formula, the gradient of the boundary formula, and the exterior formula. An advantage of this formulation over the traditional methods is that any linear condition at the interface between subdomains may be incorporated into the formul...
متن کاملAPPLICATION OF THE SINGULAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR INVESTIGATION OF PISTON DYNAMICS UNDER POLYTROPIC EXPANSION PROCESS
In this paper a mathematical simulation of a simplified internal combustion engine is presented. To contribute engine kinematics and its geometry, simple relations are derived for constrained motions. The equation of motion for the piston forms a singular boundary value problem. The uniqueness of the solution was studied in the Banach space. For solving governing equations an iterative numerica...

This paper addresses the influence of boundary conditions and small-scale effect on the free vibration of nano-plates using molecular dynamics (MD) and nonlocal elasticity theory. Based on the MD simulations, Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) is used to obtain fundamental frequencies of single layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) which modeled in this paper as the mo...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of three-dimensional foam by the immersed boundary method
In this paper, we present an immersed boundary (IB) method to simulate a dry foam, i.e., a foam in which most of the volume is attributed to its gas phase. Dry foam dynamics involves the interaction between a gas and a collection of thin liquidfilm internal boundaries that partition the gas into discrete cells or bubbles. The liquid film boundaries are flexible, contract under the influence of ...
